    Sardinia pizza....ate it so quickly, I almost forgot a pic!!!
    Lisa M.

    Being from NY I did not have high expectations. I assumed it would be decent pizza, as the wait was 45 mins on a busy Friday night. We lucked out and found 2 seats at the bar! Bingo! The pizza....was amazing! Like I'd put it in my top 10! We had the Sardinia pie....the meatballs and sausage were great, add ricotta...now it's a winner. That crust! I'm still dreaming of it. Even leftovers were great! I cannot wait to come back!

    Pizza is amazing! I get the Bianca and add artichokes and my dad got the margarita

    I love the pizza and wings at this place! The food is amazing and perfect for a weekend out. Service is always good also! The inside is small but I always sit outside at the bar or patio and they have heaters this winter!

    My go to for wood fire pizza! The wait staff for to go are always friendly and offer water while you wait. My second time ordering take out. I wanted to dig in so fast last time I forgot to take pictures. Today 7/19 I ordered the small cheese with garlic, the small supremo and mild buffalo wings with onions. Everything tasted great. Like I mentioned my go to. Gotta try it for yourself.

    This is it. 1/8" thick.

    We had an event this afternoon and one of our friends brought a few pizzas from Fireside. I couldn't believe how poor they were. One had veggies, the other plain. Each were so thin, I could roll a cigarette with them. The toppings sucked, especially the green pepper. No flavor, the crust was bland and had no char on the bottom. It was a floppy mess. Not sure how this place gets such high praise, it's very average.

    Excellent pizza! Service was great. We ordered a large Bianca with half sausage and black olives. Loved the dollops of ricotta throughout the pizza. Hot and fresh! Plenty of toppings.

The atmosphere was good very noisy cause it was full of people. We waited a long time there were eight of us and we were in there for over two hours. The service was good. Our server was just so accommodating about everything. The atmosphere was good very noisy cause it was busy not full. But we were in there over 2 hrs. So I also heard there were new owners???

When I order chicken piccata, I expect thin, lightly dredged chicken that's browned, with a bright lemon-butter sauce balanced by capers, light, fresh, and clearly defined. What I was served here was quite different. The dish arrived as a bowl of angel hair pasta in a white, gravy-like sauce, topped with two unbrowned chicken breasts that did not appear to be dredged in flour. While there were capers present, the sauce lacked the lemon-forward brightness and balance that typically define piccata, and the overall effect was bland rather than fresh. This may be the restaurant's interpretation of the dish, but it didn't align with the classic preparation or flavor profile I was expecting. If you're ordering chicken piccata with a traditional lemon-caper profile, this version may not meet that expectation.

    ***GLUTEN FREE REVIEW*** On my Gluten Free journey to find…read morenew places to enjoy, I came across suggestions for Casa Cosenza. I read that the Chef is the wife/owner and the husband/owner runs front of house. I read they offered GF bread, pasta and other options. We went in right after they opened for the evening at 5:30pm. There was a couple at the bar and 5 gentlemen at a table. The ambiance and decor is nice and comfortable. There's a full bar. As we sat a young man brought water and menus right away, then brought a bread plate. I asked if he could bring GF bread. He returned and let me know there was none available. Not a big deal. The owner greeted us and I asked about the menu. On Yelp a menu shows clearly marked GF options, but none were on this revised menu. It did have a notation that GF options were available upon request. He said to just pick what I like and he'll see if it can be GF. I'll be honest, I "think" the server(s) must have called in sick because it was just the owner and the young kid, and the owner seemed very disorganized about serving and it wasnt even busy yet. It took a good 10-15 minutes until he was able to make his way back to us to order wine and a cocktail. His response to hubby's cocktail was that he's not a bartender and cant make a Moscow Mule. I asked if he had GingerBeer (I would walk him through it) but he said no. Hubby drank water, I had a glass of Pinot Noir. I knew things like Lasagne, Ravioli, etc could not be made GF, but the 3 plain pasta options weren't appealing to me. So I asked about the Eggplant appetizer and could it be made a dinner. He said he could make it dinner sized. Sounds good! Hubby got the Veal Scallopini Marsala. It does take awhile to get the food but you are forewarned that everything is fresh and made to order, so we were ok with the wait. My eggplant and sauce had a delicious flavor! However, the portion was small...either they forgot to make it larger (but charged me for it) or it just wasnt sufficient. Sadly, I left hungry. Worse, it was also COLD. I was so surprised! It was so cold that the Mozzarella Cheese was hardened on the inside. And speaking of hard....both hubby and my potatoes were hard and undercooked so we couldnt eat them. The veggies were good, but I also couldnt eat the chewy round parmesan crisps. Husband's Meal was decent, he said the sauce was delicious, but the veal was a bit tough, and again, his potatoes were undercooked and couldnt eat them. So to sum up, service was a bit disorganized and a tad slow (but I really do think someone called in as there was no server or bartender), the food was cold and small portions, BUT.....the flavor was really good! It is a bit of a disappointment to leave a restaurant hungry and paying $80 for a meal. Reading all the excellent reviews I think we just caught them on an off night. My suggestion, take your chances, it is a charming restaurant and the flavor of the food is really good--just try to catch them on a good night!

But with good quality food and EXCELLENT service not common these days, this Cosenza is truly in a league of their own.

I didn't try the mozzarella triangles myself, but others at our table said they were delicious. For mains, we ordered the "Combination for Two," lasagna, and the special of the day, a parmesan-crusted salmon. The salmon was outstanding and cooked to perfection. The combination platter itself was very generous--easily enough for three people depending on your appetite. It came loaded with fried eggplant, two sausages, spaghetti, cheese ravioli, plus a basket of garlic bread. The bread was excellent, especially with the flavorful garlic butter seasoning. For dessert, we split the lemon cake with raspberry drizzle, which was light, refreshing, and a perfect ending to the meal. If I had one critique, it's that the red sauces across different dishes tasted very similar, which made it feel a little repetitive. That said, I definitely plan to return and try more dishes to explore the variety of flavors they have to offer.
